Employees love hybrid work, so why are so many burning out and quitting?

Because work still sucks?<p>In spite of being able to work from home, I&#x27;m still working on pointless nonsense that is being mismanaged and likely to never become a real product but instead peter out and die due to lack of vision and follow-through and constantly changing priorities, my wages are not rising with inflation, my career is not being developed as I was promised and I&#x27;m stuck doing heavy lifting that I was assured was temporary? And on top of all this, in the middle of a virus spike, my management chain is giving me some line about some theoretical synergistic boost from working in the office and pushing to end WFH, because they&#x27;d rather be wardens in the panopticon then actually responsibly manage staff and a project?<p>I presume the situation is comparable in a lot of places, and I am entirely unsurprised that people are quitting.
